Can anyone lean the skills of clairvoyance? Actually, it is possible for everyone to learn a certain modicum of skill in this power. However, it is important to define exactly what clairvoyance refers to and what we mean by the ability to learn it.

Some of the confusion here derives from the fact that the term clairvoyance has several different meanings. Some of the traditional definitions center on remote viewing powers or precognition skills. On a very basic level, this term refers to the ability to discover information about a person, place, or thing without using any of the five senses but from tapping into a latent sixth sense.

Some individuals with extraordinary clairvoyant abilities can see, smell, hear, feel and even taste things that are at a distance. They just know these things about the future that they have no other means of knowing. Science can provide no documentation or explanations of these abilities. No one is sure how it works. These psychic abilities have various metaphysical explanations. However, there is no concrete belief and many explanations contradict themselves. Nevertheless, there is one common element that crosses through all these theories and that is that clairvoyants are just born that way.

Is it possible for everyone to learn remote viewing or develop the ability to see into the future? No, but it is possible for everyone to develop a talent at developing a sixth sense.

Literally everyone has a least some clairvoyance or ’sixth sense’ capability. Oftentimes, you’ll have a certain hunch about something, or you have a feeling that you feel compelled to listen to, even though you don’t really have a logical reason to do so. You also don’t have a logical explanation for feeling this way. You may hear people say, ‘I don’t know why, but I feel uneasy about this,’ or, ‘I don’t know why, but I feel like we can trust him.’ What’s unfortunate is that although everyone has these feelings sometimes, they often ignore them and instead try to be ‘logical.’ That means that they ignore gut instincts, sixth senses, and so on.

In science, there is an acknowledgement of the deeper validity of hunches and instincts. Scientists state that there is nothing supernatural or paranormal about these abilities. Psychologists put forth the notion that such skills are little more than the actions of the subconscious mind which picks up helpful details and signals that the conscious mind is able to notice. The subconscious mind then translates all of this into emotions designed to help guide you thanks to the feelings you are experiencing subconsciously. So, to develop a sixth sense, you need to expand and trust your subconscious mind.

Your sixth sense may be based on a paranormal psychic ability or brain neurochemistry, or even both. However, this really is unimportant. Clairvoyance exists; everyone has it to a certain degree. Anyone can cultivate and develop his or her clairvoyance ability it they desire to do so. There are three ways you can do this.

1. Sharpen Perception

The daily grind of life often keeps many of us busy and we become unmindful of our surroundings. We may not notice the small details. However, the subconscious mind notices these things and then it forms gut feelings or intuition. By increasing your perception, you become aware of your surrounding. This provides your subconscious mind with the power it deserves to increase your sixth sense.

Of course, a great deal of practice is required in order to make this work. That is why you need to take steps to improve or increase perception. That means you need to slow down a bit. Relaxation is the key and moving through life at a leisurely pace is advisable. Turning off your car radio and driving in silence, for example, can have a tremendous effect. Removing things from your mind will allow you to become more aware of things such as the weather and your environment. This will have a clear effect on your skills to perceive things.

Finally, you can learn how to do so-called ‘mini meditations.’ With a mini meditation, you close your eyes, take a deep breath, and force yourself to relax. When you open your eyes again, you’ll be surprised at how much more aware you are of your surroundings. This will just take a few seconds, but you’ll be surprised at the difference you feel.

2. Meditate

Meditate for at least thirty minutes daily. Meditation is occupying and clearing your conscious mind while allowing your subconscious mind to work and communicate with your conscious mind. Many individuals who meditate report feelings of being refreshed and relaxed.

It is true mediation is easier said than done. Sitting down and thinking of nothing is not as simple as some assume but with concentrated power. Using distractions are two ways to overcome such problems and two of the most popular forms of distractions are focus and mantra.

It’s normal when you first try to meditate that you’re going to hear everything and it’s going to distract you, or you’ll feel things, smell things, etc. However, don’t try to ignore your senses when they try to ‘get in your way’ like this. Instead, you can give them something to do. Meditate with your eyes closed, or focus on a flickering candle. Repeat a simple mantra that will occupy your mind so that distracting thoughts can’t keep bubbling through. In this way, you’ll stay ‘occupied’ enough to avoid distracting thoughts, but open enough that you can still access your subconscious mind.

Secondly, it is our conscious mind and our thoughts that never shut down which leads us to always being distracted by thoughts. So, instead of trying to silence it, it is better to distract it or occupy it with a mantra. A mantra is a phrase, prayer, or poem and, possibly, song lyrics intended to occupy the mind. As long as it is something you know and can recite, you can use it as a mantra. Many prayer sessions such as the rosary reciting can occupy the mind in such a manner.

3. Trust Your Instincts

As perhaps the most important element of developing clairvoyant abilities, your instincts are going to be central to trusting your clairvoyant abilities. Although it will be normal at first to doubt or second-guess yourself, don’t. Trust those gut feelings, and don’t try to tell yourself that they’re not important or that there’s no logical reason for you to feel this way. These feelings and hunches exist for a reason, and it’s your subconscious mind trying to get through to you to tell you something important and that your conscious mind hasn’t noticed.

Yes, this all may prove difficult at first, but skill can be developed over time. Just listen to and trust your instincts. You will discover more confidence over time and your clairvoyant sixth strength will grow. This will allow you to trust it.
